I hate how you feel the need to put yourself down with "entitled" people throw that term around so much. If you put in money to watch game of thrones i think you should be entitled to it being good. I hope ramifications happen honestly cause this was just lazy.

Many more have seen the petition than signed it. As a rule of thumb I got by the '10 rule', 10k upvotes on a post? 10x that many people have seen it. And usually no more 10% of 10k have commented on it unless it's a highly controversial subject. So, 60k people signed it? About 600k people have seen it.

The more people see it the more people talk about it, the more chance of something happening when more people talk about it. Nothing will probably happen, but still.

We now probably have millions of people talking about how bad the season is, and by the end of the season there's going to be tens of millions of people talking about it, meaning, people at HBO will probably talk about the fan backlash and then the petition will most likely have millions of supporters and then HBO will be asked to make a statement somehow, yadayadayada.
